# Giant Limb Sculptures Nina Levy's Super-Sized Appendage Art By Ric J Pestano | Published 2009-05-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-like-sculpture-nina-levy References: [ninalevy](http://www.ninalevy.com/photographs2008.htm) The work by Brooklyn artist Nina Levy truly makes you do a double take. At first glance, Nina’s work looks like uninteresting portrait photography, but then you notice that some of the subject's limbs are, well, a little large... Nina creates [sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-bust)--either whole figures or just limbs--that are [incredibly lifelike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilions-of-wonder). Now juxtapose an oversized arm with a child model, or a woman with a giant fist, and you have a piece of art that truly provokes thought. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sculpture Sizing:** Artificial enlargement or reduction of sculpture components to create intriguing thought-provoking displays. - **Life-like Sculptures:** Creating sculptures that resemble real-life figures and objects for artistic expression. - **Surrealism in Art:** Integrating surreal elements in traditional art forms to create visually striking experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Sculpture:** Exploring the use of artificial limbs in sculptures to create lifelike and thought-provoking displays. - **Photography:** Using photography to capture the essence of artificial limb sculptures for exhibition and sale. - **Fashion and Design:** Incorporating the concept of oversized or undersized artificial limbs in fashion and design to create unique and unconventional products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Artful Motion Toy Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nina-chanel-abney-bravo.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Insect-Inspired Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insect-bronze-sculptures.md) - [Outdoor Floral Sculpture Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptures-at-kew-gardens.md) - [Interactive Kinetic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-kinetic-sculptures.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Towering Reclaimed Wooden Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louise-durham.md) - [Virant Monumental Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meow-wolfs-group-exhibition.md)
